Article source: Interbrand A place to boost creative inspiration and productivity, this original café format takes the Moleskine brand into a new dimension. The Moleskine Café opens at Corso Garibaldi 65, in the heart of the Design District of Brera in Milan. This new retail format, designed and developed in partnership with Interbrand, represents a natural evolution for a brand dedicated to creating content and building cultural experiences. For this experience, Interbrand and Moleskine developed the positioning strategy ‘Inspiring Journeys’, which encompasses the brand’s strong tie to culture and travel. This strategy guides the brand in the development of its new collections and the creation of experience formats such as the Moleskine Café.  Image Courtesy © Michele Morosi

The result is a reinterpretation of the classic café littéraire, a place for inspiration and the sharing of ideas and stories, which takes Moleskine into a new dimension. Moleskine Café offers a careful selection of blends, filtered, and brewed coffee. And it mixes the elements of cafés, art galleries, stores, libraries and event venues, to boost creativity and provide a space for deep thinking and relaxation.

Moleskine Café takes what has always been at the heart of the brand – the creation, celebration and sharing of stories, ideas and travel – and transforms it into a place and an experience”, says Manfredi Ricca, Interbrand’s Chief Strategy Officer of EMEA & LatAm. “Growth opportunities increasingly arise from the continuity between analysis, strategy, experience and realization, and this project – which we helped bring, literally, from concept to creation – is one example.”  Image Courtesy © Michele Morosi  Image Courtesy © Michele Morosi The Café design reflects Moleskine’s style: simple, essential lines, and a colour range based on neutral shades, which creates a relaxing environment that encourages exploration and dialogue, just like the ivorycoloured pages of their notebooks. Large full-height windows illuminate the interior and create continuity with the terrace and city streets.

It represents a response to the growing interest in retail formats that go beyond mere buying “. Representing one of the brand’s growth drivers, the Moleskine Café concept is ready to be replicated in the major cities of the world.
